It is that time of year again when gardeners are itching to begin planting and growing produce and flowers. Whether you are a beginning gardener, or you have years of experience under your belt, some questions may arise throughout the gardening season. If you do have questions, don’t worry. The Jo Daviess County Master Gardeners are here to help you!
Beginning May 8, 2024, and continuing through the month of September, the Jo Daviess County Master Gardener volunteers will have their help desk open on Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m. – noon. This service provides research-based horticulture information for the home gardener. Please feel free to call the office or stop in at these times to chat with a Master Gardener about your concerns. You can also contact the Extension Office at your convenience and staff will pass questions along to the Master Gardener volunteer to answer. The Extension office is located at 204 N. Vine St., Elizabeth, IL, and can be reached by phone at 815-858-2273.
If you need a reasonable accommodation to attend these programs, please contact the Extension Office at 815-858-2273. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your needs.
